M220 Queens Park West United Free Church

Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh made
unspecified modest alterations to the church involving joiner, plumber and
painter work. At the time the work was carried out, there were two United Free
churches in Queen's Park: the East, designed by Alexander Thomson of
1868–9, which was demolished in the 1940s; and the West by James Thomson
of 1873–5. In 1902, a new organ was installed in the West church and it
is possible, though not certain, that the alterations, for which the
contractors were paid in February 1903, were connected with the organ
installation.

Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs
carried out in the office of John Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from
1901) during Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of
these, but there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this
case.
